 * Hi everyone, my work site i built on wordpress has had a huge spike in traffic
   lately and upon analysis it all apears to be because of repeated access to a 
   particular file called bp_ncom.php My web searches indicate this is a malicious
   file that A remote user can execute arbitrary PHP code and operating system commands
   on the target system with the privileges of the target web service.
 * It doesnt appear that damage has been done yet. Help me stave off attackers before
   its too late!
 * How do i address this problem?

 * That file isn’t a WordPress file, so there’d be no problem deleting it.
